I totally agree with you that we could sort subforums by tool popularity.
PDFRead, Mobi2IMP and calibre are definitely great examples for tools that deserve their own subforum. On the other hand, I wouldn't make "Using perl scripts to produce .IMP ebooks" its own subforum because it's really very specific, not really tool-development related, and could work just as well in a single thread in the catch-all category or in the Fictionwise forum.

I agree with your suggestions!
That's exactly why the Fictionwise/ebookwise subforum would be necessary here; for less popular software or software that is very specific.
EDIT: added a .zip of a .html file that details the most downloaded (>150) .zip attachments from Mobileread.com in E-Books and E-Book Devices forums compiled today by me. It is sorted by Forum, Thread and Downloads. This is overkill (includes more than just software), but can be used to base which software should be included. A nice start for those that don't have access to Moderators' tools...
